Scope
What it bears on.
The product categories this site tracks under this instrument, and the parameters of the shared vocabulary it touches. Nothing here is a statement about any one market — that is below, and it comes from that market's own record.
Product categories
-
Nicotine pouches
Oral, tobacco-free products containing synthetic or natural nicotine, presented as portioned sachets, powder, particles or paste.
-
E-liquids
Refill liquids for electronic cigarettes, with or without nicotine, including bases, flavour concentrates and DIY boosters where the market treats them the same way.
-
E-cigarettes
The devices themselves. Several markets regulate the device separately from the liquid, and at least one permits one subtype while banning the other.

In the markets we cover
The national provisions, not ours.
Every row below is a market's own requirement, with the act that imposes it in that market and a link to that act. A directive binds the member state, not the product; what binds a product is the national provision that transposes it.
